Hallelujah!

Behold the prettiest cauliflower you've seen today:

...dramatic pause.......I have a camera again! Granted, I had to buy a new one, but still, there is cause for celebration. It turns out that it would have cost nearly as much to fix the old camera as it would to pick up a new one, so I made the executive decision to buy the new camera. I haven't posted in the past few days because 1) I was crazy busy, 2) I went out to dinner a lot, 3) I was still sad about the lack of camera in my life. However, new camera in hand, I cooked up a storm tonight and took oodles of pictures. I was also able to use my new turquoise plates as a back drop, which rocked my world. I have no recipes to share today, just lots of pictures to make up for the previous few posts full of photo-less prose. Presenting, your weekly dose of food porn:

Again, just because it is pretty -- mmm, pasta salad. Who said carbs were bad? I mock the very thought!

While all of the chicken-ing, cauliflower-ing, asparagus-ing, polenta-ing, and pasta salad-ing was going on, I was also boiling the hell out of a few smoked turkey drumsticks. Above is the resulting broth and shredded smoked turkey. This broth and turkey will be used later this week in a dish with blackeyed peas and kale.

See? I told you I went wild in the kitchen tonight -- I even wore an apron. :)
